The Monkey's Raincoat (2011)
“Today’s episode was brought to us by the letter D. For Depressed Detective. I pulled on a pair of tennis shoes and went out onto the deck for the traditional twelve sun salutes of the hatha-yoga, then segued smoothly to the tai chi, third and eighth cycles, Tiger and Crane work. I started slow the way you’re supposed to, then increased the pace the way you’re not until the tai chi became a wing chun kata and sweat trickled down the sides of my face and my muscles burned and I was feeling pretty... good again. I finished in vrischikasan, the second-stage scorpion pose, and held it for almost six minutes.
The cat was waiting in the kitchen. I gave him the big smile and a cheery hello. “Held the scorpion for six minutes,” I said. Proudly.
The cat thought about that, then licked his scrotum. Some people you can never please.
I made us eggs. His with tuna, mine with a couple of shots of Tabasco. We ate in silence. After the meal I phoned General Entertainment Studios.
A young woman’s voice said, “Casting.”MoreLess
